To all whom may 'rbncern:

Be it known'that I, ALPnoNso M. Qumran, a

Arbor, in the county of \Vashtenaw and State useful Improvements in Processes of Forming Organic Peroxid Acids; of which the following is a specification. The invention relates to the manufacture of a class of compounds which may he desig-. nated as organic peroxid acids andwhich, as the title suggests, are characterized by pus:- sessing the proporties'of both a peroxid and anacid.'- g

The PIOQ S is applicable to the manufacture of various specific compounds oi this 'Broadly described, the process consists in the treatment of an anhydrid of a dibasic acid suitable quantityfof'the pulverized anhydrid and mixing it withasolution of the hydrogen For forming the specific compound succinic peroxid acid a quantity of the pulverized succiuic anhydrid' may be mixed with a sevenper-cent. solution of hydrogen peroxid, the proportion of the two ingredients being, by"

five minutes, at the end of which period the dried preferably in vacuum. The reaction whichtakes place may represented as fol-v v lows: v

characterized hy their intense germicidal actioud, as well as by theother properties of per cm s. oxid acid is a' dibasic acid and has the for mula CzHu'xOa. Itis further characterized by p the following properties: It is moderatelyso u ble in water, alcohol.acetone,and acetic ether.

It is sparingly soluble n. ethyl ether and is 5 practicaiiy insoluble in chloroform and benzene. When the pure substance is heated in a thin-walled "glass capillary tube, it hegin'sto soften at about 115 ccntigrade and is completely melted at about 128, with decompo- $5 sition and evolution of gas. The substance consists of small colorless crystalswhich have the form of flat plates.

What-I claim as my'invention isa 1. The hereinsdescribed process of forming 60 organic peroxid acidswhich oonsists'in treating an anhydrid of a dibasic acid with 1-80- lution of hydrogen peroxid.

2. The herein-described process ofiforming organic.peroxid acids which consists in mix 5 ing a quantity of the pulverized anhydrid of a dihasic acid into asclution' of hydrogen per oxid and agitating the same until precipita tion takes place, and of then removing the precipitate. '76

,3. The herein-described of forming ,succinic peroxid acid which consists in mii-- ing a quantity of the pulverized succinic anhydrid with a solution of hydrogen peroxid,

in agitating the mixture to facilitate precipi- 75 tation and in then removing the precipitate;
